The American Folklife Center's "Homegrown" series is part of "I Hear America Singing," a Library of Congress project celebrating America's music. Yuqin Wang, Zhengli Xu, and their daughter Ke "Brenda" Xu, moved from China to Portland, Ore., several years ago, bringing with them their knowledge and love of Chinese puppetry. The family operates as a team, constructing puppets and set designs, choreographing and performing Chinese folk tales for schools and other audiences throughout the U.S. and abroad. Their international experience includes more than 30 years of performing throughout China and touring in Europe and South America. The art of Chinese puppetry dates back a thousand years, beginning as cultural ritual and then developing into a form of entertainment. Students of rod puppetry, such as Yuqin Wang and Zhengli Xu, study and practice for years to perfect their skills.
